The next time someone says we get bad politicians because we don’t pay enough…

$200,000+/year gets you this

Another vacuous turd shat out by this excuse for a guverment.

The message seems to be: Poor people - keep your aspirations low and don’t get above your station.

You’ve missed a couple of crumbs that have fallen off the side of my plate”

It’s horrific. For someone who’s supposed to be an expert on this stuff, it’s fucking ridiculous that she doesn’t appear to understand the difference between capability and opportunity.

As someone who vehemently believes people should be given the best opportunities based on capability and merit, telling people to moderate their aspirations because of their social status boils my piss.

The first sentence from the narration ripped my knitting, before that aunt jemima even spoke.
“How to increase social mobility is a question that’s stumped politicians for years.”
Remove charitable status from private schools, take the tax revenue, put into normal schools and enforce an proportional entry system into all universities for starters.

Then she started speaking and my knitting was in fcking shreds. I wish it shocked me that a social mobility chief would spout such shite but to be honest it generally what i expect from this government. Don’t be aiming too high or getting your hopes up serfs… You’ve pretty much no chance so be happy if you make it to shelf stacker. fcking outrageous

I thought the Conservatives were supposed to be smugly quite good at this sort of thing?

Dig for Britain my arse.

Who’s going to pick it all?

Are they just going through old issues of the Times and Telegraph and gathering policy ideas from Government propaganda notices from the 40s and 50s?

Half of the poor sods that are starving probably don’t even know what venison is.

“I’ve got no interest in my own emotional state.”

The break down that comes just after this kind of irresponsible thinking kicks in may teach him otherwise.

Cummings really is bat shit crazy. He truly beleivess you can run a country as if it were a silicon valley company. The man is insane.
